Founding Engineer

We're looking for our first Founding Engineer to join us. No audit or accounting experience is required.

What you'll do

• Build agentic workflows that perform complex, multi-step audit tasks
• Work on retrieval, structured extraction, citations/provenance, OCR, and long-context reasoning across complex documents and messy enterprise data
• Own and ship features end-to-end, from idea to customers
• Diagnose issues quickly and ship fixes
• Proactively identify and suggest product and technical improvements

Your first three months with us

• Week one: Ship your first feature to production
• Month one: Own increasingly complex features end-to-end
• Quarter one: Own a meaningful surface area of the product, proactively identifying improvements and driving solutions from idea to production

Who we're looking for

• A track record of building and shipping real software, whether through work, internships, startups, or ambitious projects
• Strong Python and backend engineering skills
• Significant experience building with Claude, Codex, Cursor, agent SDKs, and other AI tools
• Moves quickly while maintaining a high bar for quality, with strong judgment about when to investigate further or ask
• Clear, proactive communicator
• Comfortable figuring things out without an established playbook
• Excited to work intensely alongside the founding team: we're an in-person team in San Francisco and typically work 9/9/6

We care much more about what you've built, how you think, and how quickly and efficiently you can execute than checking specific credential boxes.

Strong bonuses

• Experience with document AI, RAG, OCR, multimodal models, or large-scale document processing
• Experience building full-stack products 
• Experience with AWS, Kubernetes/EKS, and/or distributed systems
• Built your own products, startups, or technically ambitious side projects
• Been an early hire at a startup or worked on an early-stage team

Why Oxus

You'll join early enough to have a meaningful impact on the product, architecture, and engineering culture. You'll work on real AI systems used in high-stakes workflows, where outputs need to be accurate, traceable, and reviewer-ready.

We're a close-knit team that works hard, moves quickly, and invests in making the experience fun. Perks include free lunch and dinner, unlimited coffee/matcha/boba, team outings and offsites, and the AI tools you need to do your best work :)
